Remote Start question

I have a question for you guys that have used the remote start feature on your keyfob. From what I have read if the temp is below 40 degress (F) then the heat will come on, and the heated seats and wheel will come on as well. I have tried this several times with the temp being above and below 40, and the seats and wheel work really well. However, when I get in the air is blasting wide open, the air is cold and it seems to be only coming out of the defrost vents up front. This happens regardless of what mode the air control is on,(head only, head and feet, etc), and regardless of the temperature the climate control is set at. Even with the temperature turned all the way up before I get out of the car(like 80 degrees), the air coming out is still cold and blasting wide open.

Anybody have similar experiences, or know of a way to turn the air part off when using the remote start?

Wondering if it's because it throws on defrost with the A/C to clear the windshield. Haven't seen any settings to adjust it yet. I have the same thing, but with the warm seat and wheel, haven't been too upset about the air quality not being perfect.

When I leave it outside. Most of the time it's inside, so it doesn't think the temp is cold enough to turn it on. Or at least that's my experience so far...

Well that's what I thought too. But even when the temps are in the 50s(too warm for the auto air thing to come on, according to the manual) air still comes out automatically. My wife's does the same thing so I guess there isn't much I can do about it.

Wondering do you have your climate control set to auto? My understanding that's what it has to be set on.

I have this same problem, Drivers side comes on set to 60 degree, passenger side is set to what is was when it was turned off. Any ideas?

My understanding of the system is that the fans will blow full force until it knows you're getting inside, as there's no one there to be bothered. Then when you open it up, it settles down and waits for more available engine heat to hit your set temperature. I never saw it as a defective programming. I am always running a synced thermostat setting though, so that could simply be my opinion. The logic was there for me.

How can I private message you? This issue is frustrating during this really cold winter. Going out in sub zero temperatures only to find the AC blowing at full blast.
